Which name for Google new mail service?

I'm reading that Google could have problems with the name "GMail" for its new email service. Seems that a small British company has already got the trademark for Gmail and has been using it in 80 countries.

I remember that, when I wrote my first post about the future Google Mail service, the voice was that the name could be Googlemail, not Gmail.

So, why this choice from Google? Why not use Googlemail, for me a more interesting name? But, if the domain will be (as now) gmail.google.com, the trademark problems remains the same? It's a second level domain...

And for you, what could be a great name for this service? Suggest it to Google... :)
